She returned to the White Room with the Red Carp still in her embrace.
The Red Door burst into specks of red lights and hovered around her.
Cheng Xiu looked at the light specks and the Red Carp in her hands.
The body of the fish vibrated for a moment, and burst into red lights as well.
Cheng Xiu backed up. "What is go-"
The light specks fluttered around her, and hit the walls of the room, turning them red.
As she watched on, the room became redder, and redder, and turned into the colour of blood.
The soft melody that had played during her first simulation echoed around the room again, and Cheng Xiu's eyes started to glow golden in response.
The shadow of a woman wearing martial clothing, with long hair and two swords on her back appeared on the furthest.
Cheng Xiu walked towards it in a trance, her mind blank and not registering any of her actions.
